    getting in touch
    Hi I wanted to just ask for some advice.

    My friends and I have all been home from uni for a while now and I feel like I'm the only one making any effort to keep in contact? They're all pretty much around the London end and I'm the only one from the Midlands so we can't really meet up regularly.

    Like I'm not very good at keeping in touch because I prefer to talk face-to-face, but obviously because of summer holidays that can't happen, so I've been sending texts, fb messages/posts and calling every so often to just check in with them, make sure they're okay and stuff and we'll have good chats and all. It's just that no one bothers to text/phone/email/whatever me. They're all pretty good at keeping in touch with each other, so I just feel a little left out Like I'm putting all this effort in and they don't care as much about me as I do them. I'm not being out of order, am I? Thoughts?

    Thank you in advance

    If they're not bothering to stay in touch, maybe you should meet some new people? That could be a reason why you may feel you're doing your part to stay in contact with them but they're not.

    Or maybe you should just wait until they contact you?
